> You go from formulating unique solutions to flagging things that look wrong and then just picking an alternative LLM generated one.

totally depends on how you use the tools. Plenty of people fall in to that scenario, but plenty of others explicitly tell the LLM tools what and how to build something.

How do you make it follow your instructions though? I often an agent like Codex how to build something, and then it just ignores me.

some models do ok with instruction, some don't. You still have to review pretty thoroughly and make corrections or re-prompt.

For the most part I use claude code w/ opus plan mode + sonnet implementation mode, and it does pretty well. I go through the planning process for anything other than the most basic changes.
